make faq-gnome

[Sean Wheller]

Hi,

To demonstrate docbook profiling I have created a make target for the FAQ 
Guide call faq-gnome. It does not currently handle images so expect the 
target to end abruptly, but it does demo the solution for what I need to 
show.

For those who don't understand profiling do the following:

with pwd trunk/ do 'make faq-gome'

Open build/gnome/faqguide/pr01.html and read the section called 'Text Editing'

now read the XML source 
less -N generic/faqguide/C/faqguide.xml

go to line 70 and read Text Editing. Note how some of the xml nodes have os 
attributes
<application os="gnome">Terminal</application>
<application os="kde">Konsole</application>

Note how only those nodes with the attribute os="gnome" were output to 
build/gnome/faqguide/pr01.html

In trunk/Makefile see the command used
xsltproc --xinclude --stringparam profile.os "gnome" --stringparam base.dir 
$(FAQBASE)  $(HTMLXSL) generic/faqguide/C/faqguide.xml

Hope this helps people understand a usecase for profiling in our documents. 
Any questions, just ask.
